À propos de cet audio

 In a city of masks, no one is what they seem . . .

Englishman Richard Hughes has survived a stint as a galley slave and is now a free man in Venice, where he enjoys a modest life as a fencing master.

He believes he has long-since left behind the ideals that landed him in slavery...until he stumbles across an attempted murder close to home. As he hunts for the red-masked assassin who is picking off the city's Libertini, Richard and his new rescued friend 'Philip' are drawn into a conspiracy that stretches from Venice to the Vatican and beyond...


This is the Venice of waterfront palaces, romance, Carnivale and gondolas - but also of sharp swords, lawless criminals and ruthless assassins; based on real events and richly brought to life by the master of historical fiction, Christian Cameron.

'Cameron is a true master of the genre . . . skilful, humorous and finely wrought' - Ben Kane, bestselling author of The Eagles of Rome series

'Agile and rapier-sharp' - Chris Lloyd, award-winning author of the Occupation series

'A masterclass in historical adventure' - Miranda Malins, author of The Rebel Daughter

This is an incredible murder mystery thick with historical detail. As with all Christian Cameron's work, the characters are instantly loveable, the pacing excellent, and the historical context brilliantly executed.
Peter Noble is a narrator sans pareil!
I have only two complaints: it was over too quickly and I have to wait for the sequel to be written ;)

A masterclass in historical fiction from one of the genre's best. Cameron brings his powerful voice, deep knowledge of history and love for drama to a new time period in a city he clearly loves. The characters, the swordplay, the clothes and the city of Venice shine in this one.

Murder, Mystery, Venice. What's not to love?
